Reading the Bible

Every Christian should read their Bible on a daily basis. Some people read before the rest of the house is awake, some choose to wait till the other end of the day and others find a few minutes after lunch when the babes are napping.

Sometimes life gets chaotic and you can never keep a real routine. It is often difficult to find a while during the day to sit down and spend some time with the Lord. It is then when it becomes useful to be able to "keep tabs" on what and where you are reading.

I found this link at the beginning of this year and it truly has been very useful. Now I know exactly what I have read and don't waste precious moments trying to find where I left off last time. It also helps one to see which are the less read books, and to read those, too, especially if you don't follow the "beginning to end" order of books.

It can also be very useful for you to keep an eye on what your younger ones are reading. It is encouraging for them to be able to slash what they have just read but they must understand that they are not reading their Bibles just to be able to have more slashes than their siblings.

I would like to insist that it is far better to read three or four verses and understand them, than to read five chapters and have no idea of their message.
